Project description
Advanced technology for combustion simulation
The decarbonisation goals of the European Union in the energy and transportation sectors demand fundamental changes in the design and operation of current and future combustion systems. The EU-funded CoEC project will take advantage of Exascale computing technologies to promote and develop advanced simulation software that can assist in this transition. The project will apply advanced methodologies enabled by Exascale computing to promote a series of scientific and technological activities that will extend the state-of-the-art in combustion simulation capabilities. The results will form the basis of a portfolio supporting academic and industrial activities in the realm of power and transport, increasing the EU’s competitiveness and leadership in technologies for climate change mitigation.
Objective
The Center of Excellence in Combustion (CoEC) is a collective effort to exploit Exascale computing technologies to address fundamental challenges related to the simulation of combustion systems. The CoEC vision is aligned with the decarbonization goals of the European power and transport sectors and the European roadmap to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The consortium is composed by leading institutions in the fields of computational combustion and High-Performance Computing. It promotes a core of scientific and technological activities aiming at extending the state-of-the-art in combustion simulation capabilities through advanced methodologies enabled by Exascale computing. These advances will increase the TRL of representative codes from the EU combustion community. Selected Exascale Application Challenges are used to create demonstrators and validate the project achievements. The most ready technologies will be the basis of a service portfolio to support the academic and industrial activities in the power and transportation sectors. This will eventually increase the EU competitiveness and leadership in power and propulsion technologies.
